It has certainly been a busy week in the drama studio.
Lower Fifth pupils explored physical theatre using Trestle masks — taking on the expression of the mask and adapting their body language to suit their character through dramatic movement, posture, and gesture. This built on their recent work studying Brecht and his techniques.

Meanwhile, the Remove class took to the stage with a performance of a verbatim script, experimenting with their own lighting design to enhance the atmosphere.
